Independently or simultaneously analyze the impacts of low, medium, and high-voltage networks

Through its modular design, PSS®SINCAL is highly flexible and customizable. It offers a wide variety of analysis functions for the planning, design and operation of power systems, allowing you to simulate and study: power quality, frequency stability, distributed generation interconnection, protection coordination, restoration of supply, economic driven design decisions, and more.

Generation

PSS®SINCAL provides the core analysis and automation functions that are needed for the most accurate generation planning outcomes:

IPPs can improve the accuracy with which they can assess their generation interconnection proposals before submitting to the ISO/RTO

Distribution network planning and analysis

PSS®SINCAL provides distribution engineers with the simulation tools they need for the planning, design, and operation of power distribution networks. It can be used in balanced, unbalanced, radial and meshed networks – including single-phase, multi-phase and rail networks.

Industrial networks

PSS®SINCAL provides industrial facility operators and designers with the tools they need for the planning, design, and operation of industrial power networks – such as those for refineries, chemical plants, oil platforms, mining, automobile, and other manufacturing facilities.

Protection

System operators, planners and protection engineers face an ever-increasing landscape of challenges around power system protection due to the integration of variable energy resources. With PSS®SINCAL, protection engineers can master these challenges by:

Monitoring and studying the management of protection devices and their settings

Renewable and distributed energy resources (DER)

Due to the proliferating deployment of DER on transmission and distribution networks, planners need to perform an increasing number of grid interconnection studies. Utilities and DER investors need tools that can help them automatically assess the viability of various interconnection proposals. The maximal hosting capacity (ICA) module within PSS®SINCAL automates different calculation functions (such as load flow, short circuit analysis, protection checks with network adoptions, voltage fluctuations due to DER coming online and offline, etc.). Additional PSS®SINCAL features for DER integration include:

Model management

PSS®SINCAL offers model management solutions that reduce modeling efforts and keep multiple network models up to date from within a single application. Its master database function makes it possible for multiple users to work on a network simultaneously. Special synchronization functions – including conflict management, incremental model update, and network model merge – ensure data consistency. PSS®SINCAL can also automatically create cases on-the-fly and easily integrate network models from other applications across the utility IT landscape – including SCADA.

Pipe networks

PSS®SINCAL supports the planning of gas, water, and district heating and cooling networks. Utilities that oversee these different network types can optimize their costs and IT overhead by utilizing a single tool instead of multiple applications. PSS®SINCAL also enables companies to perform linked simulations between electrical and pipe networks to optimize the efficiency from the renewables, and use the storage capacity of the pipe networks. Typical analysis modules for hybrid networks include:

Customize your platform

PSS®SINCAL offers a variety of modules for the design, modeling, and analysis of electrical and pipe networks. Enhance your platform further with model and workflow management modules for all network types.

Electricity modules

From basic, enhanced, dynamics, and enhanced dynamics modules to frequency domain, protection, and strategy modules as well as model packages – PSS®SINCAL offers a wide-range of capabilities for electricity network planning and analysis.
